Well here goes, I'm finally having a go at entering a challenge. I am making this for the One Stitch At A Time Christmas Club and the theme is As You Like It. Hope I've set up that link ok being the first time I have ever done this. I thought it was a great idea to be making Christmas Cards throughout the year as I always leave them till the last minute. My resolution this year was to start them in August so now I will be ahead of schedule. After packing away all my Christmas stash I got it all out again (obviously) to make this card.

What I Used

White A5 cardstock

Papers from stash (can't remember where I got them as I've had them so long)

Where has this month gone, so much for me blogging every couple of days! After we got New Year out the way I was tidying up all my Christmas Card making stuff, then the horrible housework after the tree came down, then back to work. So hopefully now that I'm a bit more organised (maybe), I will be able to do more cards.

Welcome to my new blog. I had hoped to post this on January 1st but didn't quite manage it, only half an hour or so late though. I have decided to start a blog to hopefully give me the incentive to do more craft projects and take part in some challenges that I've seen on other blogs. I am also working on a website to try and make a wee bit money to be able to buy more crafty stash.

I was in my element on Christmas Day as I got Tim Holtz idea-ology papers, they are just scrumcious and almost too good to cut up. I also got Distress Ink pads so looking forward to having a play with them. I only had one beforehand and luv them, so easy to use. Also very happy as I got Hobbycraft vouchers from my Dad, looking forward to choosing some goodies with them. Right, I'd go as I've had an exhausting day, cooking another turkey dinner. Sorry, I haven't any pics to add to this post as it is a tad late. It also looks like I have to change the timezone!!
